A kill-file eliminates having to go through the extra motions of deleting the posts.

Ghee just isn't worth the hassle, period.

I just don't bother touching them. Right now SED has 15,457 posts unread posts in my newsreader :)

No, he serves an important function. Every once in a while, on most every newsgroup, some ass decides to make an obnoxious fool of himself, and escalates to piss off almost everyone. This allows the rest of us to absolutely agree on something, and to repair any latent discords by pounding on the repulsive jerk as a team.

GM is performing this valuable function about as well as I've ever seen it done.

Zounds like you're pissed he's taking your place... You're another worthless p.o.s. loudmouth prima donna of little to no worth to a public forum.

Fred, You really do need to stick to your medication regimen. Then you can avoid these juvenile outbursts. Or is it that you're jealous of all the attention that GM is getting ?:-)

I can't imagine what "place" you mean, but it's not my job to be of public worth here.

If you're so fond of GM, you should patronize his newsgroup; it could use a second poster.
